MYSTERY INCIDENT.

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA — MYSTERY INCIDENT. Argentina has protested to the United Nations an ''incident'' between an Argentine fishing trawler and a British Royal Air Force plane near the disputed Falkland Islands. A Foreign Ministry statement referred to an incident in Argentine-claimed waters in the South Atlantic involving the trawler Antartica and a British Hercules plane, but the statement gave no other information on the episode. The protest, which Argentina sent to United Nations Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, came hours after Argentine Foreign Minister Dante Caputo spoke before the world body denouncing Britain's presence in the South Atlantic islands.
